uummmmmmm... fatal error?

[Eddbot]

ok, i was searching, and i typed in my search criteria then i clicked enter, and i got this:
"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) in /home/spudfile/public_html/forums/search.php on line 412"
i'm not a computer genius, but i think something's broken, i think it says there's only 83 gigs on the spudfiles server and that it's been completely used up

[MrCrowley]

Hmm strange, it worked for me.

I'll ask PCGUY, if he doesn't see this first.

[rna_duelers]

Same thing for me,just then.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 150075 bytes) in /home/spudfile/public_html/forums/search.php on line 726

[MrCrowley]

Still good for me

[rna_duelers]

I tried to use it before about 25 mins back and I thought it'd sought out soon but it's still doing it.

[MrCrowley]

Are you searching through the advance search tool? Are you searching the whole forum or a certain section?

[rna_duelers]

I was using Quick Search on the top right of the home page.

[MrCrowley]

I've used that about four times today, all worked fine.

[Carlman]

works fine for me too so i dunno wats up

this happens occasionally to functional PHP scripts when the memory requirements exceed the default 8MB limit. Google Results

adding

Code: Select all

memory_limit = 12M

to the server's php.ini file would change the requirements for all the PHP scripts.

or

adding

Code: Select all

ini_set("memory_limit","12M");

to the top of an individual script would change it for just that script.


if you guys want a nice learning tool, you should download EasyPHP. its just your standard Apache,MySql,PHP combined into one tool. then download web applications(forums,blogs and such). it'll give you a much better understanding what goes on behind the net.

i use linux and most of this comes standard with each distrobution. a lot of neat things can be done AMP servers.

[PCGUY]

Hey it looks like we have a smart guy here 8)

Regardless thanks for letting me know about the error, I have to be very careful with memory limits since SpudFiles shares a server with other websites... if I take too much memory they will be mad!

[paaiyan]

OMG, it's pcguy!

So what kind of hardware does the server have and how many other sites run on it?

[PCGUY]

It runs on a quad core Intel Xeon processor, each core is 2.8ghz. The server also has 4 gigs of ram. I am not sure how many other sites are on the server, I don't control it.

My host tells me that I get to move to a more powerful server soon, but who knows when.

[paaiyan]

Wow, that's a pretty good server. Must be a lot of sites on it if they're that worried about you taking their memory.

[Carlman]

do you know what other sites? just curious who shares space with SPUDFILES lol
